LET'S GOOOOO!
You know what time it is:
From The Hill:
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) on Friday said it will begin 'an orderly wind-down of its operations' after seeing its budget cut through GOP-led legislation.
'Despite the extraordinary efforts of millions of Americans who called, wrote, and petitioned Congress to preserve federal funding for CPB, we now face the difficult reality of closing our operations,' CPB President Patricia Harrison said in a statement.
If this was 50 years ago and Jim Henson was still running Sesame Street, this might be disappointing. If Ken Burns was just telling us about the Civil War, there could be an excuse to keep funding this stuff with tax dollars.
But in this day and age, the CPB is nothing but a woke propaganda machine.
CPB cited legislation passed by Republicans last month that yanked back two years' of advanced funding at the request of President Trump, amounting to a clawback of more than $1 billion for fiscal years 2026 and 2027.
It also pointed to a lack of funding for CPB in an annual funding bill advanced by the Senate Appropriations Committee on Thursday, saying it was the first time in more than five decades the funding had been left out.
Now PBS and NPR will be forced to see if they can survive on their own!
